Architects plan of the Castle. Revd [Reverend] Mr Anderson Mr Duncan |
090 | A very extensive and handsome building, built by the late Prince Consort. It consists of two quadrangular buildings connected with each other by two passages and lying north and south of each other. The Queen and suite when residing at the castle occupy the south square of buildings and the servants the north square. The highest point of the Castle is a magnificent clock tower surmounted by a flagstaff which bears a flag during the royal visit. Immediately on the west of the servants' square there is a beautiful ball room on the west wall of which there is a fine bass-relief statue of the late Prince consort watching some highlanders putting the stone. There are two bronze stags and a bronze boar on the west side of the royal apartments. The stables and other offices are apart from the dwellings a short distance. There is a telegraph office in connexion with the establishment. Invergelder is the home farm connected with the castle. The castle and office houses are in an excellent state of preservation and the whole are encompassed by a small but beautiful demesne. Property of Queen Victoria. |
